Book excerpt: Capital allocation is used for many purposes in financial institutions and for this purpose several methods are known. The aim of this paper is to review possible methods (we present six of them) and to help financial companies to choose between the methods. There are some properties that an allocation method should satisfy: full allocation, core compatibility, riskless allocation, symmetry and suitability for performance measurement (compatibility with Return on Risk Adjusted Capital calculation). If we think about practical application we should also consider simplicity of the methods. First we examine the methods from the point of view if they are satisfying core compatibility. We test this with simulation where we add to the existing literature that we test core compatibility with different assumptions on returns: on normal and t-distributed returns and also on returns generated from a copula. We find that if we measure risk by a coherent risk measure, the Expected Shortfall there are two methods satisfying core compatibility: the Euler method (that always fulfills the criteria) and cost gap method (obeys it around in about 99%). As Euler method is very easy to calculate even for many players while cost gap method becomes very complicated as the number of the players increases we examine further the properties of Euler method. We find that it fulfills all the above given criteria but symmetry and as aforementioned it is also very easy to calculate. Therefore we believe that the method might be suggested for practical applications. -- Capital Allocation ; Coherent Measures of Risk ; Core ; Simulation

Download or read book Centrality based Capital Allocations written by Adrian Alter and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-12-24 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We look at the effect of capital rules on a banking system that is connected through correlated credit exposures and interbank lending. The rules, which combine individual bank characteristics and interconnectivity measures of interbank lending, are to minimize a measure of system-wide losses. Using the detailed German Credit Register for estimation, we find capital rules based on eigenvectors to dominate any other centrality measure, followed by closeness. Compared to the baseline case, capital reallocation based on the Adjacency Eigenvector saves about 15% in system losses as measured by expected bankruptcy costs.

This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides an analytical and practical framework, consistent with maximizing the wealth of existing shareholders, to address the following questions:What are the costs associated with economic capital?What is the tradeoff between the probability of default and the costs of economic capital?How do we take into account the time profile of economic capital when assessing the performance of a business?What is the appropriate measure of profitability, keeping the probability of default constant?It is shown that the capital budgeting decision depends not only on the covariance of the return of a project with the market portfolio, but also on the covariance with the bank's existing assets. This dependency arises from the simple fact that the economic capital is not additive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an integrated framework for risk measurement, capital management and value creation in banks. Moving from the measurement of the risks facing a bank, it defines criteria and rules to support a corporate policy aimed at maximizing shareholders' value. Parts I - IV discuss different risk types (including interest rate, market, credit and operational risk) and how to assess the amount of capital they absorb by means of up-to-date, robust risk-measurement models. Part V surveys regulatory capital requirements: a special emphasis is given to the Basel II accord, discussing its economic foundations and managerial implications. Part VI presents models and techniques to calibrate the amount of economic capital at risk needed by the bank, to fine-tune its composition, to allocate it to risk-taking units, to estimate the "fair" return expected by shareholders, to monitor the value creation process. Risk Management and Shareholders' Value in Banking includes: * Value at Risk, Monte Carlo models, Creditrisk+, Creditmetrics and much more * formulae for risk-adjusted loan pricing and risk-adjusted performance measurement * extensive, hands-on Excel examples are provided on the companion website www.wiley.com/go/rmsv * a complete, up-to-date introduction to Basel II * focus on capital allocation, Raroc, EVA, cost of capital and other value-creation metrics

Download or read book Risk Limit Systems and Capital Allocation in Financial Institutions written by Mario Strassberger and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial institutions aim to cap the market risk taken by their trading divisions through limited providing of risk capital or setting risk limits, respectively. Risk limits must be based on the market risk model internally used. The paper addresses to the questions of how to efficiently allocate risk capital and how to consistently construct hierarchical systems of risk limits. We develop a very concrete model to allocate risk capital and to control market risk in trading divisions of financial institutions. Based on Value-at-Risk we show how to build up a consistent system of risk limits which guarantees both an optimal profitability and limiting market risk. An optimization approach is used to construct a system of risk limits for any hierarchical order of trading portfolios. Because of instable or simply unknown correlations between portfolio's loss variables there is in result a trade-off between exploiting risk capital and strictly keeping to risk limits.

Download or read book Capital Allocation in Large Banks A Renewed Look at Practice written by Andreas Ita and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capital allocation frameworks play an important role in large financial institutions for risk management and performance measurement. These frameworks are predominately developed by practitioners and undergo continuous change. Instead of using economic capital, banks rely for the allocation of equity capital to their business units increasingly on regulatory capital measures like risk-weighted assets. In my paper, I assess the methods used in nowadays practice from a theoretical viewpoint. I demonstrate based on simulated asset and equity returns that some of the commonly used methods provide unreliable results. For example, if RAROC is used in combination with a single firm-wide cost of equity rate, the capital charge is systematically overestimated for businesses that are lowly correlated with the overall market, or for businesses with a left-skewed return distribution. Further, if the cost of equity of listed standalone peers is used as a reference to determine business unit specifc hurdle rates, it is essential to consider differences in leverage, as in the absence of a leverage adjustment the capital charge is underestimated.

Download or read book Value and Capital Management written by Thomas C. Wilson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A value management framework designed specifically for banking and insurance The Value Management Handbook is a comprehensive, practical reference written specifically for bank and insurance valuation and value management. Spelling out how the finance and risk functions add value in their respective spheres, this book presents a framework for measuring – and more importantly, influencing – the value of the firm from the position of the CFO and CRO. Case studies illustrating value-enhancing initiatives are designed to help Heads of Strategy offer CEOs concrete ideas toward creating more value, and discussion of "hard" and "soft" skills put CFOs and CROs in a position to better influence strategy and operations. The challenge of financial services valuation is addressed in terms of the roles of risk and capital, and business-specific "value trees" demonstrate the source of successful value enhancement initiatives. While most value management resources fail to adequately address the unique role of risk and capital in banks, insurance, and asset management, this book fills the gap by providing concrete, business-specific information that connects management actions and value creation, helping readers to: Measure value accurately for more productive value-based management initiatives and evaluation of growth opportunities Apply a quantitative, risk-adjusted value management framework reconciled with the way financial services shares are valued by the market Develop a value set specific to the industry to inspire initiatives that increase the firm's value Study the quantitative and qualitative management frameworks that move CFOs and CROs from measurement to management The roles of CFO and CRO in financial firms have changed dramatically over the past decade, requiring business savvy and the ability to challenge the CEO. The Value Management Handbook provides the expert guidance that leads CFOs and CROs toward better information, better insight, and better decisions.
